The invention relates to handy and convenient means for carrying the anti-skid chains for automobile wheels and has for its object the provision of a hanger adapted to be secured'to the under side of the running board of a motor vehicle at each side thereof, and to receive a container in which the chain is stored, said container havin a door in its bottom Y opening downwar ly and i0 adapted to be connected to one end of the tire chain so that when the door is open the end of the tireV chain will be delivered from the container, a puller chain being connected to the end of the tire chain for this purpose, and adapted to be secured to the driving wheel toplace vthe chain in position thereon. Thel invention will be described in detail hereinafter and will be found illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a side view of the chain carrier showing it applied to the running board of a motor vehicle,

Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 showing the manner of applying the chain to a wheel, f Y

Figure 3 is a horizontal sectional view of the container,

Figure 4 is a longitudinal `vertical sectional view, and

Figure' 5 is a detail view of the puller chain showing it attachedto the end fragment of the tire chain. In the drawings similar reference characters will be uesd to designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

In the drawings a hanger is shown applied to one side of anautomobile runningboard designated A, B designating the driving' wheel of the vehicle on the corresponding side thereof, it being understood that the device is'to be made in rights and lefts for attachment to the twosides of the vehicle, the chain for each side being carried in the container to be hereinafter described.

The invention consists inthe provision of a hanger having a base 1 provided with end upright members 2 having outwardly extending horizontal anges 8 adapted .to besecured to the under side of the running board 50 A by bolts or other suitable fastening means.

'the Vwheel 4 indicates aback wall member that is securedI l to thev base A1,`uprights y-2' and horizontaly to braceflanges "3.

Vflanges 3, the ends of said back wall 4 serving the uprightsv 2 andthe horizontall of 5 are angular brace''members'secured Vto the outer or front edges 'offtli'e ulprights 2 and the horizontal serve also to support these ine Cates-'a container for the 'tire' chainf'designated 'C beingof substantially the dimensions to V`Vsnugly receive v y correctthel tire chain and 'prevent Vit from moving zafter vbeing lplaced in the container so that it may "bedelivered in of the vehicle,'as ,clearly described hereinafter wall 7 of the container' proper conditionl for securingfto will.v be more The bottom-v v6 is provided with Y i a hinged door 8 that is mounted to swing downwardly and to be l A* securedin closed po- 'sition by anyl suitable fastening means. The i door 8 is provided with ahasp'Sa to engage a staple 8b position, and 'with a staple 9 that jis adapted to yengagea lengt-li of vpuller chain 10 and to be secured 'to the'l chainby'nm'eans of a pin f or,` other suitable fastening means. V The puller chain lOisprovided with snap hooks l1 on 'its ends that engage in links of the side chain C,'sol that Ywhen. the door 8 is'released to swing downwardlyv thelpuller chain 10'being securedttojthe `staple19 will'be de'- livered fromthe'containerfand-withl it the end ofthe tire ichaing'* The containerl` fisl fit inthe hangerfhereinbefore to reston' the base 1,said base proportioned 'to snugly f described, and being provided on the hanger to hold "it in closed with an opening `12alined with the door 8 to permit downward swinging of thefdoor" as hereinbefore referred to.

The container 6 is held in place on the base l of the hanger o by means of a horizontal ro d 13 having `a laterally extending arm 14 that hingedly engages the transverse strap 14', as shown at 14a, secured under the base 1 said horizontal bar 13 being provided with slotted openings 15 adjacent to its ends to receive staples 16 on members 5 and a slotted opening 17 to receive a staple 18 on the container 6, said staples being adapted to re y Z, y i Y y1,780,834
